Large-scale pilots: Schools’ distribution

Implementation Phase A (M16-21) with 100 pilot schools


During this phase of implementation partners organized series of training workshops and educational activities with teachers

In this phase and in most cases the activities involved the use of online labs standalone, in some cases there were implementation of existing or already developed Inquiry Learning Spaces with minimum authoring by teachers

Implementation Phase B (M25-33) with 500 pilot schools


• During this phase the pilot schools are using the system more extensively and at 3 levels

use the Go-Lab repository of labs

implement existing Inquiry Learning Spaces developed by the project teams

develop new or adapt existing Inquiry Learning Spaces
